Bee Collapse - Smoking - Cancer
Bee Deaths May Stem From Virus, Study Says
I can absorb words like water , but cut and paste not so much lol
Pay wall -on current device- .... Could Someone please paste about the RNA tobacco virus
Godspeed
The tobacco virus is an RNA virus: usually a single strand of genetic material that mutates faster than other pathogens and so is adept at devising workarounds to its hosts’ defenses. In humans, diseases caused by RNA viruses include AIDS, influenza and some strains of hepatitis.
That rapid mutation rate also allows RNA viruses to switch hosts more rapidly than conventional pathogens, with the tobacco virus jumping to bees just as influenza has leapt to humans from pigs and chickens.
The tobacco virus is believed to attack honeybees’ nervous systems. Monitoring 10 colonies kept at the Agriculture Department’s Maryland laboratories, researchers found that the share of bees infected with the virus rose to 22.5 percent in winter from 7 percent in the spring.
Paywall bypass
The company was launched in 1987 by Michael L. Riordan, then a 29-year-old with a medical degree, an MBA, and less than a year’s experience as a venture capitalist at Menlo Ventures in Menlo Park.
Riordan founded the company, which he named after the biblical balm of Gilead, to develop compounds that fight disease by using synthetic molecules that block a cell’s genetic instructions. Called “anti-sense,” it’s an exciting principle that has yet to fulfill its early promise.
Early on, Riordan began building an extraordinary board of directors, including Donald Rumsfeld, who had been chief executive of the international drug company G.D. Searle, White House chief of staff and secretary of defense. Rumsfeld later became Gilead’s board chairman, a position he held until resuming his old post as defense secretary in 2001.
Riordan also sought the advice of Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, who in 1996 joined Gilead’s board, as did George Shultz, the former secretary of state. Stanford University biochemist Paul Berg, a Nobel laureate, joined the board in 1998.

G.D. Searle, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. It is currently used mainly as a distribution trademark for various pharmaceuticals that were developed by G. D. Searle & Company (often referred to as Searle). Prior to its 1985 merger with Monsanto, Searle was a company focusing on life sciences, specifically pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and animal health.
